[ The title of the article speaks volumes about a perspective that is very narrow and one that is, in all likelihood, offensive to our students whether gay or straight. As president of this institution, as a Morehouse graduate and as a father, I am insulted by what is to be published. Addressing our young men as “girls” is deeply disturbing to me, no matter what the remainder of the article may say. ]

God bless the alumni who wrote in defense of Morehouse, a prestigious institution with a historic history of educating Black men including the late Martin Luther King. Bravo!!!
